Possible to render a specific log revision in ticket comment?

[Leho Kraav]

I'm thinking something like this for a macro

[[Diff(repository:revision)]]

Does anything similar to this already exist? th is taking about 5 minutes to load any page, can't check hack index.

Just to be sure, you want to display the diff, and not just the log message? I haven't seen anything like that on t-h.o, but a Changeset macro would be a valuable addition to Trac.

[Leho Kraav]

Yeah. It can be used for avoiding pasting code into wiki when
documenting examples and also as a lightweight, model-free code review
tool in ticket comments. With psuter's autocomplete magic from
http://trac-hacks.org/intertrac/WikiAutoCompletePlugin picking a
revision to use for the macro could be a really nice experience.

Feels like most of the required logic is already in Trac core, but has
to get rendered inline for the wiki macro call rather than dedicated
changeset page.

If it was so smart to accept a path as optional argument, one could
display exactly what is shown at corresponding Trac browser pages when
showing diffs reduced to a directory or file.

Those seems like good ideas. Some similar features are requested for WorkflowMacro in:
http://trac.edgewall.org/ticket/11865

Leho: if you create a ticket for the issue we can keep it in mind for a not-so-distant release.

I was looking for something similar back in 2012 https://groups.google.com/d/msg/trac-users/lYm5kxZwkro/cUL0vnn7YYIJ but I did not find anything. I agree it would be very useful.
